What About Dottie?

Poor Dottie hasn't gotten enough love these days. We need to give the dog props for being such an outstanding canine companion. Dottie absolutely loves Lucia. She goes to Lucia's crib when she cries, hangs out at her feet, shares her toys, and lets Lucia grab her fur. We couldn't have asked for a sweeter pooch. Here's to you, Dottie!

This video is our FAVORITE!

Bon Appetit!

Lucia had her first food today. Rice cereal in a bowl from Grand Aunt Kathy fed to her by Dad. It seemed she wasn't quite sure how to feel about her new food.

Christening

Lucia was baptized on Sunday at the church where Mom and Dad got married almost five years ago to the day. Godmother Christine and Godfathers JR and Philip were present along with a lot of family and friends. It was a beautiful and meaningful ceremony with a wonderful lunch afterwards. Lucia's gown was made by her great grandmother.

Love to Read

Lucia absolutely LOVES books! Of course her librarian dad is thrilled.

Lucia 5 Months!

Here is Lucia's five month picture with Rowlf.

Rolling Along

Lucia rolled over from her back to her tummy on August 1st. Mom laid her down on her back and went to put some dishes away. When she came back, Lucia was flipped over onto her tummy looking surprised. As you can see, Lucia is wildly active. As this continues, we hope it will tire her out enough to end her nap strike. Happily for Lucia, she has gained more freedom. Sadly for Mom and Dad, they have lost most of theirs. This baby is going to be crawling, walking, running, and dating soon...
